It's a simple plugin that sends an email alert once a device gets down. Uppon recoverry of the device, a "host up" alert is sent out containing the duration of the downtime and the time the host came up again.

Notifiction emails are configured on a per host basis.

Now also includes Interface Down/Up detection based on the Interface Status template. Each interface can send an alert to pre-configured email addresses.

The plugin adds a new field to the hosts called "Notificiation Email". If that field is set, that specific host will be monitored and an alert mail will be send to the email configured there.

For the interfaces:
You will need to graph the Interface Status template from here and configure it for your interfaces you want to monitor. Then wait for one polling cycle and all interfaces you had the Interface Status template configured will show up under the "Setup Interface Alerts" link.

Hi phalek:
I installed your plugin (version 0.7) on my cacti (0.8.7g), all was ok, but in "Setup Interface Alerts" I see each interface duplicated (look at the attached image). Could you take a look?. By the way, I had to install StoreLast poll plugin.... is it necessary?.

This is my first time istalling nmidUpDownMonitor, I have installed 0.7 and do not seeany errors. I have added the email to the devices that I want to monitor, but my interface list is blank. Sorry But, am I Missisng something ????

Hi, I am new to posting on this forums. But I have used a lot when configuring cacti.

I recently install nmidUpDownMonitor_v0.70 and storeLastPoll_0.8 pluging on cacti. manage to configure reading this forum.
(I know this is a newer version but coudnt find any forum related to this version)

My Problem is after configuring everything I manage to get alert emails to my self. but when I go to "Setup Interface Alerts" page status showing unknown. also there are no data on graph. I have attached some picture for referance.
